Avalanche

A group of (3) skiers on a high east facing slope above treeline with obvious signs of wind loading, Skier 1 jumped a small cornice which triggered a roughly R2.5, D2 wind slab behind him. Skier 1 was able to ski to the side and was not caught. Skiers 2&3 skied down the same slope after with no further incidents. All 3 skiers evac'd the area unharmed.
